View Full Version : Did you know that you can buy the T7.5 wrists (which normally cost 60 valor emblems) for gold?

Yes, thats right. The T7.5 emblem of valor bracers are BoE. If you can find someone that wants to spend 60 emblems of valor on gold, you can buy the wrists from them using their emblems of valor.

Seeing as it would take me ages to get 120 emblems of valor (60 for dps bracers 60 for tank bracers), I decided to inquire around. I found 2 people to buy the bracers for me for 1500g each. So now my DK has T7.5 bracers for tanking and DPSing. Considering it took me about 2 days to make 3000g while 5 boxing but it would take me probably 2-3 months to get 120 emblems of valor, if not more, I'd say it was an amazing deal.

I posted this thread because no one on my server seemed to even realize this was possible, so I thought maybe some others here that don't get to raid much would be interested. Also who knows if they'll change these to BoP in the future so get them fast :)

They wont change it, they wanted 7.5 gear to trickle down to the lower ranks. Hence all the BOE loots from naxx25 and OS25 and stuff.

The BoE bracers are always being advertised on my server (Dath'remar), but I have never seen them for less than 2k gold.

Since i stopped 5-boxing and just started playing my main on his own again ive noticed that ive lost the nice litle abilty to make a few thousand gold in a day by doing dailys.

Ive since supplemented my income by selling these for around 2k each time.

2K is the going price on Mag as well. I got the Bracers of Dalaran's Parapets ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40734') for my DK.

Cheers,

They're going for about 1.2k on my server; I have most of my team with them. There are a bunch of BoE epics that drop in Naxx you can pick up at the AH.

Check out these shoulders:
Mantle of the Eternal Sentinel ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40439')

and
Benefactor's Gauntlets ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40302')
Bindings of Yearning ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40338')

I picked these up for my hunter:
Spaulders of Egotism ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40305')
Rusted-Link Spiked Gauntlets ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39194')
Torn Web Wrapping ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39762')
Surge Needle Ring ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40474')
Avool's Sword of Jin ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44311') x 2

If you add in the good crafted gear, you can gear up really nicely just from gold (which can be much easier to farm for multiboxers)

EDIT: added more items

Yeah, I made 6K selling mine, they go for 1.5K each on Gorefiend. I expect the prices to drop pretty quickly though now that the next patch is in sight.

I bought the tanking ones for my DK on Scilla today for 1k gold. Not a bad price I think.

i transferred my mage from mal'ganis to my my server today, I think mal'ganis is the cheapest horde server around....I got 6 bracers for 900-1100 gold, already sold 2 for 2800 gold on my server, 4 to go.
Antonidas is like Beverly hills, everything is overpriced o.O

EDIT: added more itemsGreat additions... I never noticed those shoulders before. The gauntlets are going for 600-1400g on my server, but most people just need cash, so I've been able to pick up 2 sets of the Benefactor's Gauntlets for 400g each - and I'm not even 80 yet, lol. The valor bracers that Hachoo mentions are going for around 600g right now as well. As with anything, I'd recommend just haggling for any of these items instead of trying to buy them on the AH (unless you see something at a great price). With the release of Ulduar and the amount of people sitting around with BoE items in their banks, you're bound to find great deals. And, at 400-600g per item, you can easily recoup three to five times that amount in a day of dailies - making it easy for you to get epic'd out quickly... damn, it feels good to be a multiboxer. :thumbup:

we got some really nice boe items to drop from ulduar yesterday(have 4 bosses left now). On our server they will sell for a crap ton, but Im sure its will be much less on more"normal" servers.
Anyway, Im at work now, and cant really check, but Iirc we got some nice boe tanking shield and boe dps plate helm, Im sure there is a ton more items in there.
